In traditional secretary desk design, the bookcase top was half the depth of the chest of drawers on the bottom. This secretary blends traditional western style with intricate chinoiserie hand-painted designs borrowed from the Far East.

5. If you can't hide the office, at least hide the work. Not every room has a spare closet in which to hide the office. But if you can fit everything you need into a secretary desk, then you can close up the desk itself and still hide the office. This can work whether you have a beautiful traditional room like this, or ...

This beautiful secretaire designed by Erika Brunson is one of the few new pieces in the house. While this piece might reflect a different era and style than the rest of the pieces in this guest room, the materials and styles still blend smoothly. "I'm not a purist by any means," says Cravotta. "So sticking to one style or period was never my objective, although the house has a definite English feel."

Pens, stationery and stamps can all be tucked away in the plentiful drawers of a secretary like this.With writing tools neatly stored away, the main doors can remain open for a full view of the piece's detailed craftsmanship.

Aren't these drapes perfect for being next to this exquisite secretary desk? The ripples in the drapery and the gold fabric echo the desk's shapes and colors.

I would never want to come out of this guest bedroom, with its beautifully showcased chinoiserie secretary. These types of pieces commonly feature secret drawers and compartments for jewelry, money and documents.

Pinch pleats. Although traditional, these perfect pleats never go out of style. For this heading, fabric is gathered delicately into three little folds and then pinched together to create one pleat. Tip: The closer you place the pleats, the fuller the drapery looks.More on pinch pleats

Use secretary?..

This European-inspired guest bedroom is bedazzled with metallic chinoiserie wallpaper. Inset within wall molding, the paper features a typical motif of cherry blossoms, birds and flowers. It's perfectly paired with antique French caned furniture so that the room exemplifies a European mix of styles.

OR -- we find wallspace for something like this in the wood paneled room, or build in something similar -- a way to have a home-bill-paying space in the wood paneled room that "closes up" -- so that all the paper clutter is not on view all the time on some desk that is just plunked in the middle of the room -- make one of the wall-with-built-in-bookcase in the wood-paneled room be book-case-with-built-in-desk-and-drawers?

I love a bit of chinoiserie but does not go with living areas, but a beautiful piece in the guest room would be lovely.
